More quotes by Michael Chabon

Michael Chabon
I’m a man who falls in love so easily, and with such reckless lack of consideration for the consequences of my actions, that from the very first instant of entering into a marriage I become, almost by definition, an adulterer.
Michael Chabon
A father is a man who fails every day.
Michael Chabon
When I'm writing solitude feels very good. But when I'm not writing it feels lonely... Having a big family solves that problem.
Michael Chabon
I thought, I fanced, that in a moment, I would be standing on nothing at all, and for the first time in my life, I needed the wings none of us has.
Michael Chabon
Misogyny comes naturally to a young man in his late teens it is a function of the powerful homosocial impulses that flower along Fraternity Row, that drove the mod movements of the middle sixties and late seventies, that lie at the heart of every rock band formed by men of that age.
Michael Chabon
Take care-there is no force more powerful than that of an unbridled imagination.
Michael Chabon
In the immemorial style of young men under pressure, they decided to lie down for a while and waste time.
Michael Chabon
